Women have been in the work place for many decades now and statistics show that we are earning more and more as the years go on. Sometimes earning even more than our male counterparts.

Not only is this seen in the corporate world but also in the world of high profile women in the media and as well as those who literally start from the ground up with their own personal at home business.

The list of women millionaires is only growing as time goes by, with the expansion of technology as well as the platform that certain media outlets, such as reality television, has afforded certain women to propel themselves in front many people to be able to brand themselves and market their product.

This has been the case for several women who had businesses that were doing relatively well but the added publicity skyrocketed them into millionaire status. Bethenny Frankel is one that comes to mind. She had attended and graduated culinary school and had been working as a chef when she was asked to do the reality show Real Housewives Of New York. Once that show ran for only two seasons, Bethenny started to branch out of her profession as a chef and started harvesting ideas for cookbooks and an alcohol beverage line, specifically for the calorie conscious called Skinny Girl. Earlier this year she was able to sell her alcohol beverage line for a whopping 120 million dollars. Which just goes to show you that marketing and branding work, whether on a big or small scale.
